Product Information

Full details

The Maco Rail Inline Espag Window Lock is a high-security solution designed for homeowners and locksmiths looking to upgrade window hardware to meet PAS 24 security standards without complex installation. Its core benefit is the unique reverse-action twin cam mechanism that resists forced entry by clamping the frame effectively, though it is important to verify your specific eurogroove size and backset compatibility before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is an inline espag?

An inline espag features a central gearbox aligned with the center of the rail, making it compatible with most standard uPVC profiles.

Do I need shootbolts with this lock?

No, this lock is designed to meet PAS 24 security standards without the need for additional shootbolt extensions.

How do I know which size to buy?

Measure the total length of the existing metal rail and the backset distance. Match these measurements to the corresponding Maco product model.

Can I adjust the weather seal tension?

Yes, the eccentric cams allow you to turn the locking points to increase or decrease compression against the frame.

Is this suitable for DIY installation?

While technically possible for those with window hardware experience, we recommend professional installation to ensure the security rating is maintained.

What finish is the hardware?

It features the Silverlook-Evo finish, which is specially formulated for high corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Handle is stiff to operate

Check the compression setting on the cams; they may be set too tightly. Adjust the eccentric cam to reduce pressure.

Window drafty despite being locked

Adjust the eccentric mushroom cams to increase compression, ensuring a tighter seal against the weather gasket.

Locking points not reaching the striker

Verify that you have the correct rail length and backset for your window profile. Ensure the striker plates are correctly aligned with the cam positions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets high-security PAS 24 standards without requiring additional shootbolts
  • Easy one-piece installation design
  • Adjustable compression for better weather sealing
  • High-durability corrosion-resistant finish
  • Effective against jemmying attempts

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of backset and eurogroove type
  • Not suitable for older timber windows without specific modifications
  • Requires professional installation for optimal security performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Maco Rail requires measuring your existing backset (the distance from the faceplate edge to the center of the handle spindle) and the overall length of the rail. Since this is an inline unit, ensure the gear box is positioned correctly within your window profile's eurogroove. To maintain the mechanism, clean the metal surface periodically to remove debris and apply a light machine oil or PTFE-based lubricant to the moving cams annually to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the Silverlook-Evo corrosion-resistant coating.
